AB: A case of adenoma of the ampulla of Vater is presented in a 48-year-old man who was admitted with epigastric pain. Gastroendoscopy revealed a sessile tumor about 3 cm in diameter at the ampulla of Vater, and the pathological diagnosis of a biopsy specimen was adenoma with moderate atypia. Because of the possibility of a malignant component, pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy was performed to avoid local recurrence. The final pathological diagnosis was adenoma with severe atypia.
